Efflux is a web based application, allowing one to create music within their browser.
Efflux uses a tracker-type approach for writing compositions; in a tracker a sequence of music is traditionally represented using numeric input: both notes and parameter changes, effects and other commands are entered with the keyboard into a grid of fixed time s...

After having found that Google Play doesn't offer as much in the way of actual sound synthesizers (rather than sample-based apps!) as are available to iOS users, I took on the experiment of writing a sequenced synthesizer without having any "how to"-guides at my disposal.
The goal of the application quickly became clear after a few prototypes: as ...

What is it ?
Having been tempted to test the WebAudio API's capabilities beyond the initial WebAudio experiment (the touch synthesizer listed elsewhere on this page), this experiment is built upon parts of the audio engine I created for Android's MikroWave (also listed elsewhere on this page) by porting the C++ code to JavaScript so it can run ins...

What is it?
As the WebAudio API is slowly but surely being incorporated in all major browsers, a small experiment showcasing its possibilities was in order. The WebAudio API finally provides a means to write (and thus synthesize!) audio inside the web browser through JavaScript.
While the high level JavaScript language is too limited for processi...

in less vague terms: kosm is an abstract audio sequencer. Whereas the convention is to align musical events in perfect time slots and at a given pitch, kosm triggers audio via the concep...

The danger of being in an electronic combo, unable to reproduce all audio tracks live, is to become uninteresting to look at standing behind a computer screen. As such, for the Firefly Makani-project a system has been developed that both allows the protagonists to manipulate audio live and translate this visually to a live-generative visualiser.

A toy piano is a wonderful instrument, especially a good Bontempi one which would equal a Steinway, only on a smaller scale of course...
But why?
..a toy piano is however horribly crude to play! To add further insult to injury, while a toy piano has a whopping 1.5 octave range, the Bontempis don't actually have the black keys !
Enter this sampli...
